Pole is in doubt :(

I really thought he would do well against Tontine and the other big sluggish forwards

Stat Attack - by David Middleton

Wests Tigers have won their past four games against the Sea Eagles at Leichhardt Oval. Woohoo

The Sea Eagles have won their past six games against Wests Tigers. Boooo

Wests Tigers hooker Api Koroisau has scored five tries in seven games at Leichhardt Oval. Woohoo

Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans has scored 11 tries in his last 11 games against the Tigers. Boooo

Wests Tigers have lost their last nine games against current top eight teams. Boooo

That backline is going to leak like a sieve.
Turbo will score a double for sure :(

The game where Luke Brooks shows us that he has the best kicking game including to the in-goal area where it always stops centimeters from the dead ball line rather than hitting the fence like he always did at Leichhardt.
Or
Galvin just shows Brooks up, please.

The game where Josh Aloiai tries to bully the young Tiger forwards because that's what he does.
Or
Alex Seyfarth proves that he's tougher and plays all over him, without conceding a penalty naturally, but that's unlikely.

I think this is close to the best balanced side we’ve put on the field this year, I’d rather Bula at fullback, and maybe Naden at right centre, but other than that I think it’s pretty close to the best we have to offer atm. I’d have 14-16 as advertised and probably give that fat boy Miller a run as 17 (I think he has potential and he needs to play)

Would anyone BOO him?
Couldn’t give a fig about the lemon.He wouldve set himself up for life from the money he received while at Concord delivering excrement for 11 yrs.I wouldn’t b upset if he were injured for the finals so his formidable finals record remains intact

I'm stunned that Sezer didn't cop a charge after being reported for that torturous long crusher last week....he's lucky ( or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) to be playing these *last couple of games
* typo corrected

Yeh it was crazy wasn't it. It was like he was pushing down further and waiting for the ref to blow her whistle.

I missed this, huh?
I wasn’t looking for it exclusively, but it just stood out that were simply rolling it back a long the ground, not sure if this is the new norm or not, but the NRL don’t seem too worried about it.
Probably wouldn’t have noticed myself, except @Das Hassler pointed it out earlier.

The biggest issue imo is to stop play the balls like they do in touch footy where they practically keep running whilst in the process. If you have to play the ball with your foot you have to come to a standstill in order to do it.
The same applies to just rolling it without touching the foot, you can do it without stopping...so to speak

What sort of reception is Luke going to get when he returns to LO.
I hope they don't boo him or go overboard if they do give it to him.
